Oklahoma City (May 26, 2009) – Adolph Robinson Jr. of Lawton may not look forward to the summer’s heat but he doesn’t mind the flush from celebrating a top prize win of $10,000 playing the Oklahoma Lottery’s Blazing Hot $100s Scratcher.

Robinson purchased his winning ticket at EZ Go #36 at 1 NW 67th St. in Lawton. Upon learning he had won, Robinson’s first question was to ask where he could cash his ticket—immediately!

“I recently built a new home so I’ll probably use some of the money toward that and new furniture,” he said.

Robinson plays the Lottery knowing that a portion of the proceeds helps support Oklahoma education. His two children recently graduated college.

About the Oklahoma LotteryNet proceeds of all Lottery games are used to support improvements and enhancements for Oklahoma education. More than $266 million has been contributed to education since November 2005 with funds directed to the higher education capital bond issue and funds directed to the Oklahoma Education Lottery Trust Fund (OELTF). The Oklahoma Legislature appropriates the OELTF.

Proceeds are used statewide to supplement existing funds for a variety of important education purposes, including: teacher compensation and benefits, early childhood development programs, college scholarships, classroom technology and construction of educational facilities.
